Chapter 11 event starts: Tangxi Battle!

……ha?

A showdown?

Yu Yue passed the crowd and saw a black-haired boy with a bowl-cut hairstyle and a strange green tights pointing at his new clerk and yelling.

In short, I want to compete with him to see who is the "number one".

It's not that we can't compete.

But then again…

Who is this?

She looked at the boy with the pot-cut hair, and then at Hatake Kakashi who was indifferently handing syrup to the little guests in front of him.

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

However, the boy with the pot-cut haircut who was the person involved seemed to be completely unperceived, with an expression that said, "As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed." He shouted energetically:

"As expected of my lifelong rival! You have such concentration! Okay, I'll try hard too, then I'll do 300 prone poses... No, that's not right, I'm here to have a sugar syrup duel with you!"

He raised the syrup in his hand and took a fighting stance. If you don't consider that the syrup on the stick in his hand is slipping, this posture is still quite handsome.

"Come on! Let's see who among us is the real King of Konoha Sugar Syrup!"

Yu Yue: “…”

Others: “…”

Honestly, although it was embarrassing, Ugetsu was actually a little impressed.

Such a strong heart is not something that ordinary people can have.

Apart from anything else, such people are really popular in the workplace.

At least the stress resistance is maximized.

However, when he invited Hatake Kakashi to duel again, he didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Now, even the people around started to feel awkward.

The boy with the pot-cut hair just looked at him persistently: "Kakashi! Come and fight!"

Seeing that the guests were motionless, the silver-haired boy sighed:

"I'm working, Kai."

"ah……"

The boy with the pot-cut hair finally came to his senses.

"Then let's find another time and compete openly!"

The boss, Ugetsu, came out and glanced at the children around her.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to make an announcement."

Her voice was not loud, but it stood out when everyone was looking at her quietly.

"In 10 days, our store will hold the first

Sugar Syrup Battle! All sugar syrup masters are welcome to participate. The top three will receive prizes provided by our store, and the top ten will be included in our "Sugar Syrup Heroes List"! "

Wow!

After Yu Yue finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

"The specific rules will be announced in the near future. You can pay attention to the notice board at the entrance of our store. Everyone present here has skills and loves sugar syrup. Now, it's time to show your real skills!"

Normally, children are at most ranked by their grades in school, and never have the chance to be the center of attention like this.

The atmosphere, coupled with Ugetsu's inflammatory speech, was like a fuse that caused the children's enthusiasm to explode instantly.

Regardless of whether you were originally interested in researching techniques or not, at this point you will have the urge to participate.

This is a good opportunity to prove yourself!

How great it feels to show off your skills under the spotlight!

After a brief bustle, the sugar syrup window that Kakashi was in charge of was crowded again.

"I want a small one!"

"Give me one... no, three large ones!"

"Can you pack it? I have money! I brought a lot of money!"

"Despicable! Do you want to buy all the syrup and not let others practice?"

What! Is it really like this!?

When the boy with the pot-cut hair heard this, he could no longer stand still and rushed into the purchasing crowd.

While buying, he did not forget to shout at his lifelong enemy:

"Just wait Kakashi, I will definitely defeat you fairly!"

Not only children, but even adults who are focused on blind boxes came over with great interest.

"What activity?"

"That sounds interesting."

"Treacle is the kind of candy you can play with, right?"

“Let me try it too!”

Just like that, the syrup, which was already a popular product, became completely popular in Konoha.

"Anko, what are you doing?"

A hoarse male voice sounded. Mitarashi Anko, who was called, suddenly became alert and hid the thing in her hand behind her back.

"No, nothing. Teacher Orochimaru, you're back."

She greeted awkwardly, trying to get away with it.

Of course, such a small action could not be hidden from Orochimaru, one of the 'Three Ninjas'.

"That's 'treacle'?"

Although Orochimaru is

He had no interest in toys of other children, but he was not so ignorant that he didn't know about the noise.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Orochimaru also knew about sugar syrup, Mitarashi Anko became excited.

He introduced it excitedly: "You can eat it and play with it. You can stack several layers together to play with it... There is also a special competition recently..."

"I'm not interested in how you play, but..."

His eyes swept over the students who looked excited.

"Have you finished your homework?"

——Ah, this.

Mitarashi Anko's expression froze.

The smile gradually disappears.jpg

Sugar syrup became more and more popular.

Not only the kids from ninja families, but even some active ninjas came to buy them.

In fact, at first they just wanted to know what was so popular.

But when I saw people using syrup to make all kinds of fancy things in no time, I couldn't help but follow suit.

When it comes to dexterity, who can be more dexterous than a ninja?

They are willing to compete when they have nothing to do, from the speed of hand seals to kunai and shuriken techniques.

However, just comparing these things has long been boring. Now that I see something new to compare, I naturally become interested.

Anyone with a little bit of ambition and aspiration wouldn’t want to have his or her name on the list.

You can compare anything, no matter what the project is.

So those ninjas who returned to the village also started to move.

Meanwhile, Yuyue Store was holding a meeting to discuss the 'Sugar Syrup Battle'.

Of course, since the others had no experience, it was mainly Yu Yue who talked and they listened.

The more serious Itachi even took a small notebook to take notes, and his attitude was quite correct.

At least Yu Yue thinks this is a promising talent.

After some practice, there will be people who can write meeting minutes in the future.

"Then let's do as we said before and divide them into three groups: the youth group, the teen group, and the adult group. Then, as Shisui said, we'll separate the ninja group and the non-ninja group."

"Well, I think this is fairer."

Shisui nodded.

It's not that he is superior as a ninja, but that ninjas have to undergo various training since childhood, and their agility and skills are better than those of ordinary villagers who have not been trained. If we don't distinguish them, it will be very unfair to ordinary people.

"So glorious

Let’s make a big rectangular sign and distinguish them accordingly.”

“But isn’t that a bit too many championships?”

With this calculation, there must be a first place.

"It's okay, more people is better."

Anyway, she was in charge of what the prizes were. And if she could use a few prizes to stimulate the enthusiasm of the entire Konoha, then she would make a lot of money.

"If you judge so."

Shisui stopped talking.

The two people who joined in halfway would have even less objections.

"Leave the Honor Roll to Shisui. Itachi and Kakashi will have to work harder during this period. Has Kakashi become proficient in making syrup now?"

"It's all right."

Although making syrup looks simple, it actually requires a lot of skills. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cases where people fail to make it.

Kakashi was slightly worse than Shisui, but after two or three times he also mastered the technique of making perfect syrup.

"Okay, then Kakashi, please work harder during this period." After Kakashi finished speaking, it was Itachi's turn.

Ugetsu looked at Itachi with a serious face:

"I have a serious task for you."

"Please go ahead."

Uchiha Itachi also responded with a serious attitude.

"During this time, you need to become a syrup technique instructor and teach as many people as possible how to play."

Whenever something involves technology, there is a barrier to entry.

Some people can figure it out on their own, while others need some guidance.

It’s easy to give up if you can’t figure it out.

Of course, Yu Yue couldn't let this heat go down. So someone was needed to constantly "enlighten" people.

The most suitable person at the moment is Itachi.

He answered solemnly: "I understand."

The young boy couldn't figure out the complicated routines involved, but he knew that as long as it was a "mission", it should be completed successfully.

He will do his best.

only……

"Can I really?"

Uchiha Itachi wanted to do this job better than anyone else.

But, as an Uchiha, can he really do that? Will it make things difficult for Miss Ugetsu's business?

If it's just sold, people might not notice it.

But to let people learn sugar syrup technology from an Uchiha

, are they really willing to do so?

"Why not?"

Yu Yue looked at Uchiha Itachi in confusion as he showed a hesitant expression. She didn't understand why he, who had always been an excellent employee, would suddenly fail at this moment.

"What makes you think so?"

"But I'm an Uchiha..."

"What's wrong with Uchiha? Aren't Uchiha better!?"

A well-known ninja from Konoha! A veteran! A well-known technician. Isn't this just like a famous lecturer from a famous school in a cram school?

It’s actually a good sign.

Just like in modern times, no matter how much people complain about famous schools, the TOP is still the TOP.

"!?"

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes wide.

This was the first time he heard such words, and he was stunned .

And Yu Yue's speech continued.

"You can't underestimate yourself. After all, you are the employee I chose." She skillfully began to motivate. "Since I gave you such an important job, it proves that you have such ability. Do you think I don't have good judgment?"

"Absolutely not."

The boy quickly shook his head.

I am the one who is in trouble, why is it Miss Yu Yue?

Miss Yu Yue was right. She trusted me and gave me this job. How could I let Miss Yu Yue down because of my entanglement?

Yu Yue asked sternly, "Now tell me, can you do it?"

"able!"

"Louder!"

"able!"

Yes, he can!

Uchiha Shisui applauded in admiration.

Hatake Kakashi was shocked - if he hadn't sensed chakra, he would have thought Miss Ugetsu had used some ninjutsu.

Otherwise, why would he also feel his blood boiling for a moment and want to shout out together?

It was not until Uchiha Itachi shouted in a voice that even surprised himself that Yu Yue nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, you need this kind of confidence to succeed. Then let's adjourn the meeting and get ready - Shisui, you stay for a while."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Ugetsu's voice, the black-haired boy stopped and turned to look over with a questioning look.

Seeing that the two had left and considerately closed the door, Yu Yue cleared her throat and said:

"Now we're going to get down to business."

Uchi

A question mark appeared in Bo Shisui's head.

Main topic? What main topic? Didn’t we just finish talking about it?

Yu Yue's expression became serious again:

"How much do you know about renting out advertising space?" When it comes to hosting events, the biggest expense is of course advertising space.

Even if she fails this time, she still has to memorize the information.

The curly-haired boy blinked, and it took a few seconds for him to respond.

……ha?

Perhaps human beings have a competitive gene in their nature. Once people can find a way to compare something, they will naturally have the idea of "comparing".

Yu Yue's declaration brought the matter directly to the surface, directly and openly igniting people's enthusiasm.

The children, who had already developed ten thousand ways to play with their extraordinary imagination, let themselves go at this time, constantly challenging themselves to reach new heights.

Children, especially those who aim to be the "king of children", are working hard to be the "first place".

If you want people to recognize you, you naturally have to achieve results.

The 'Sugar Hero Tournament' that is currently popular throughout Konoha is their best chance to prove themselves.

Of course, there are some who didn’t join in before, but since all the kids around them are doing it, they naturally join in. Otherwise, they will be left out.

People who have never tasted or played with the popular syrup are so old-fashioned.

How can someone who can't even play with syrup be qualified to participate in the election? We don't play with children who can't keep up with fashion.jpg

Soon this trend spread to every street.

Even those children who disdained to compete for the exaggerated title of "King of Children" began to practice.

Yes, they disdain to compete for such meaningless titles, but that doesn't mean they can't do it. Otherwise, if someone says "you don't do it because you can't do it", then there is really no way to defend yourself.

No calm and rational person can stand this.

The question is who can convince people without affecting the competition.

Of course, it is the "Sugar Hero Competition" to be held next .

Therefore, the people in the store, especially the three people who were able to guide them to improve their skills, suddenly became the most popular people in the streets of Konoha.

Whether it is the amiable Shisui, the often expressionless Itachi, or the one-eyed rookie Kakashi who came last, they are all very kind to children.

For the children, they are the "strongest mentors" in their minds.

Under normal circumstances, the Uchiha Itachi's expressionless face would definitely be considered by the children as a show-off. However, now, the children unanimously agreed that Itachi's look was the so-called "master style".

If a master doesn't laugh, can it be called pretending?

That is bearing and style!

In this way, Uchiha Itachi was unknowingly accepted by the children and became one of them, and he also had a group of followers.

This was something no one had expected at the beginning.

Who would have thought?

An Uchiha who almost never interacted with the children in the village became the 'Popular King' just like that.

"Itachi, have you been getting up too early lately?"

Seeing her son getting up before dawn and going out without even having breakfast, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but ask.

The young boy, who always respected the elders and loved the young, looked at his mother and said seriously:

"Because I have to go to class."

After saying that, he nodded politely to his mother, then pushed the door and ran away.

Uchiha Mikoto was left confused and even more confused than not asking, standing in a daze behind.
